In this study, we tested the influences of several κ opioid ligands on the [³H]diprenorphine binding in rat and guinea pig cortex membrane preparations. Using paradigm to block μ and δ opioid receptors with DAMGO(1μM) and DPDPE(1μM), [³H]diprenorphine labeled κ sites. Competition analysis in both rat and guinea pig cortex has shown a single population of [³H]diprenorphine binding site with different Kd values, respectively. There is a significant difference in Ki values of (-) WIN44441 and (+)WIN44441 in both rat and guinea pig cortex. Bremazocine, (-)ethylketocyclazocine, (-)cyclazocine, nor-binaltorphimine effectively inhibited the [³H]diprenorphine binding with different Ki values in rat and guinea pig cortex. U-69,593, U-50,488H and dynorphine-A (1-8) did not inhibit the [³H]diprenorphine binding in rat but in guinea pig cortex. Nor-binaltorphimine was a ligand discriminate the κ₁, and κ₂ receptor most effectively. We, also, examined the influence of Na ion and GTPγS, a nonhydrolyzable guanine nucleotide analog, on the inhibition of [³H]diprenorphine binding by diprenorphine, (-)ethyl-ketocyclazocine, U-69,593 and bremazocine. By the replacement of NaCl with N-methy-D-glucamine or addition of GTPγS, Ki values of diprenorpnine were not changed and that of ethylketocyclazocine were changed significantly in both rat and guinea pig cortex. The Ki value of bremazocine was decreased by removal of Na ion, and increased by GTPγS, however, was not changed by any one of either. These results suggest that there are 2 kinds of subtypes of κ opioid receptor, κ₁, and κ₂, showing different Ki values for various κ opioid ligands, also, bremazocine possess the antagonistic property at κ₂ site which is dominant subtype of K receptor in rat cortex.

Background: Infrared thermal imaging (ITI), aka thermography, has been used widely in medicine, but been studied rarely its clinical application in vascular malformations (VMs). Objectives: This study investigated validity and usefulness of ITI as a new screening test to differentiate between capillary malformation (CM) and arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Methods: This study included 50 patients with VMs who conducted ITI between 2011 and 2018. They were divided into two groups; CM and AVM, and those with Parkes-Weber syndrome (PWS) were also included in AVM group. Temperature difference (ΔT) between lesional and contralateral non-lesional area was compared using ITI to calculate the maximum ΔT (ΔTmax). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was then plotted to determine optimal cutoff value of ΔTmax. Results: Of the total 50 patients, 34 were finally diagnosed with CM, and 16 AVM (12 pure AVM, and 4 PWS). AVM group had significantly higher ΔTmax (2.57±1.23°C) than CM group (0.69±0.50°C).The area under the curve of ΔTmax for diagnosis of AVM versus CM was 0.938. The sensitivity and specificity were showed 87.5% and 94.1% (LR+, 14.87; LR-, 0.13) in cutoff value of ΔTmax 1.39°C, and 81.3% and 97.1% (LR+, 27.62; LR-, 0.19) in cutoff value of ΔTmax 1.42°C. Conclusion: The value of ΔTmax measured by ITI was useful to distinguish AVM from CM, so ITI can be employed as a new non-invasive differential screening test for uncertain VMs.

Park, Young-Sook,Choi, Jong-Ho,Han, Jong-Hee,Lim, Tae-Hoon,Beak, Young-Soon,Ju, Jeh-Beck,Shon, Tae-Won,Lee, Joong-Kee 한국탄소학회 2005 Carbon Letters Vol.6 No.1

Plasma carbon blacks of 20~30 nm diameter were synthesized by direct decomposition of natural gas using a hybrid plasma torch system with 50 kW direct current and 4 MHz of radio frequency. The insulating rector which inside diameter of 400 mm and length of 1500 mm, respectively was kept at 300~$400^{\circ}C$ during the preparation. The ultimate analysis of plasma carbon blacks reveals that the raw plasma carbon blacks contains a large quantity of volatile which is mainly consist of hydrogen. Therefore devolatilization of raw plasma carbon blacks were carried out at $900^{\circ}C$ for one hour under nitrogen atmosphere. The devolatilization leads to the decrease in electrical resistivity and surface oxygen functional groups of plasma carbon black significantly. In order to investigate the plasma carbon as a catalyst support, devolatilized plasma black at $900^{\circ}C$ (DPB) supported PtAu catalyst was synthesized by sodium boronhydride reduction method. Electrochemical measurements and direct formic acid fuel cell test indicated that catalytic activity of DPB supported PtAu catalyst for formic acid oxidation was similar to that of Vulcan XC-72 of commercial carbon black supported one.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate clinical and neuropsychological factors associated with treatment response and adverse events of atomoxetine in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Korea. Methods: Children with ADHD were recruited at the Department of Psychiatry of Asan Medical Center from April 2015 to April 2018. Diagnoses of ADHD and comorbid psychiatric disorders were confirmed with the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime Version. The subjects were subsequently treated with atomoxetine for 12 weeks and illness severity was scored using the ADHD Rating Scale, Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale (CGI-S) and/or Improvement scale (CGI-I), at pre- and post-treatment. They also completed the Advanced Test of Attention (ATA), while their caregivers completed the Korean Personality Rating Scale for Children (KPRC) at pre- and post-treatment. Independent t-test, Fisher’s exact test, χ² test, mixed between-within analysis of variance and correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: Sixty-five children with ADHD (mean age: 7.9±1.4 years, 57 boys) were enrolled, of which, 33 (50.8%) were treatment responders. Scores on the social dysfunction subscale of the KPRC (p=0.021) and commission errors on the visual ATA (p=0.036) at baseline were higher in treatment non-responders than in responders; however, the statistical significances disappeared after adjusting for multiple comparisons. Mood changes were also observed in 13 subjects (20.0%), and three of them discontinued atomoxetine due to this. Additionally, atomoxetine-emergent mood change was observed more frequently in girls (p=0.006), while the intelligence quotient (p=0.040) was higher in those subjects with mood changes than in those without. Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that clinical and neuropsychological factors could be associated with treatment response or adverse events of atomoxetine in children with ADHD. Further long-term studies with larger samples are needed.

Park, Haing Kee,Park, Eui-Chul,Bae, Sung Won,Park, Mi Young,Kim, Seon Woon,Yoo, Hwan Soo,Tudev, Munkhtsetseg,Ko, Young Hye,Choi, Yoon-Ho,Kim, Sungjoo,Kim, Dong-Ik,Kim, Young Wook,Lee, Byung Boong,Yoon American Heart Association 2006 Circulation Vol.114 No.9

<P>BACKGROUND: We intended to identify proteins that are differentially expressed in human atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS AND RESULTS: Comparative 2-dimensional electrophoretic analysis on carotid atherosclerotic endarterectomy specimens (n = 10) revealed that heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27) expression was significantly increased in the nearby normal-appearing area compared with the plaque core area from the same vessel specimen, which was further confirmed by Western blot analysis. The Hsp27 expression in the adjacent normal-appearing vessel areas was much higher than that in nonatherosclerotic reference arteries. The phosphorylation of Hsp27 showed a gradation in the degree of phosphorylation: greatest in the reference arteries, intermediate in the adjacent normal-appearing area, and lowest in plaque core area. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the phosphorylation of Hsp27 of smooth muscle cells in the carotid endarterectomy specimens was decreased compared with that in the reference artery specimen. The mean plasma level of Hsp27 was significantly higher in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n = 27; 106.1 +/- 74.1 ng/mL) than in the normal reference subjects (n = 29; 45.8 +/- 29.5 ng/mL; P < 0.005). The plasma levels of Hsp27 were significantly correlated with those of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) (r = 0.422, P < 0.0005), with adjustment for ACS/reference status. CONCLUSIONS: In the atherosclerotic lesion, Hsp27 expression is increased in the normal-appearing vessel adjacent to atherosclerotic plaque, whereas levels in the plaque itself are significantly decreased. Both plaque and adjacent artery show decreased Hsp27 phosphorylation compared with reference vessel. In ACS, plasma Hsp27 and Hsp70 are increased, and levels of Hsp27 correlate with Hsp70, C-reactive protein, and CD40L levels.</P>

Caspase 9 promoter polymorphisms and risk of primary lung cancer

Park, Jae Yong,Park, Jung Min,Jang, Jin Sung,Choi, Jin Eun,Kim, Kyung Mee,Cha, Sung Ick,Kim, Chang Ho,Kang, Young Mo,Lee, Won Kee,Kam, Sin,Park, Rang Woon,Kim, In San,Lee, Jae-Tae,Jung, Tae Hoon IRL Press 2006 Human molecular genetics Vol.15 No.12

<P>Caspase-9 (CASP-9) is an initiator CASP in the apoptosome-driven apoptosis pathway and plays an important role in the development and progression of cancer. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the <I>CASP-9</I> gene may influence the promoter activity of this gene, thereby modulating susceptibility to lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we examined the association of four polymorphisms [−1263A>G, −905T>G, −712C>T and −293_−275delCGTGAGGTCAGTGCGGGGA (−293del)] in the <I>CASP-9</I> promoter with the risk of lung cancer in a Korean population. The <I>CASP-9</I> genotypes were determined in 432 lung cancer patients and 432 healthy controls that were frequency-matched for age and gender. The −1263 GG genotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer compared with the −1263 AA genotype or combined −1263 AA+AG genotype [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.64, 95% confidence interval (95% CI)=0.42–0.98, <I>P</I>=0.04 and adjusted OR=0.67, 95% CI=0.46–0.97, <I>P</I>=0.01, respectively]. For the −712C>T polymorphism, individuals with at least one −712T allele were at a significantly increased risk of lung cancer compared with those harboring the −712 CC genotype (adjusted OR=1.42, 95% CI=1.06–1.89, <I>P</I>=0.02). Consistent with the results of genotype analyses, the −1263G/−712C (G-C) haplotype was associated with a significantly decreased risk of lung cancer [adjusted OR=0.59, 95% CI=0.47–0.75, <I>P</I> and Bonferroni corrected <I>P</I> (<I>P</I><SUB>c</SUB>)<0.001]. Moreover, the risk of lung cancer decreased in a dose-dependent manner as the number of the G-C haplotypes increased (adjusted OR=0.60, 95% CI=0.45–0.81, <I>P</I>=0.0007 and <I>P</I><SUB>c</SUB>=0.0014 for the G-C heterozygotes and adjusted OR=0.34, 95% CI=0.17–0.68, <I>P</I>=0.0023 and <I>P</I><SUB>c</SUB>=0.0046 for the G-C homozygotes; <I>P</I><SUB>trend</SUB><0.001). The promoter assay revealed the G-C haplotype to have a significantly higher promoter activity than the −1263G/−712T and −1263A/−712C haplotypes. These results suggest that <I>CASP-9</I> promoter polymorphisms affect <I>CASP-9</I> expression and contribute to genetic susceptibility to lung cancer.</P>

The Haploinsufficient Tumor Suppressor p18 Upregulates p53 via Interactions with ATM/ATR

Park, Bum-Joon,Kang, Jin Wook,Lee, Sang Won,Choi, So-Jung,Shin, Young Kee,Ahn, Young Ha,Choi, Yun Hee,Choi, Dongho,Lee, Kwang Soo,Kim, Sunghoon Elsevier 2005 Cell Vol.120 No.2

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>p18 was first identified as a factor associated with a macromolecular tRNA synthetase complex. Here we describe the mouse p18 loss-of-function phenotype and a role for p18 in the DNA damage response. Inactivation of both p18 alleles caused embryonic lethality, while heterozygous mice showed high susceptibility to spontaneous tumors. p18 was induced and translocated to the nucleus in response to DNA damage. Expression of p18 resulted in elevated p53 levels, while p18 depletion blocked p53 induction. p18 directly interacted with ATM/ATR in response to DNA damage. The activity of ATM was dependent on the level of p18, suggesting the requirement of p18 for the activation of ATM. Low p18 expression was frequently observed in different human cancer cell lines and tissues. These results suggest that p18 is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor and a key factor for ATM/ATR-mediated p53 activation.</P>
